PRE GAME CR MEME!

Establishing CR that already exists before the game starts is super important and also super fun so LETS DO IT

here is how to CR meme
STEP ONE: Reply to this post using the following:



STEP TWO: Reply to other people to suggest CR, whether pre-established or planned for the future.

STEP THREE: Brainstorm! Discuss! Have fun!

This discussion post will not close! Newly accepted players are encouraged to reply to it, and people who are already in are encouraged to check back to it for new comments.

If you come up with something really good in this meme, or just in general discussion with other players, that contradicts an element of the backstory you wrote in your app, that's totally fine. Just let the mods know if the difference is a really big one that changes things significantly.

PLEASE NOTE: you can only use this meme once you've been accepted! This is because we don't want people to get invested in connections based on information that may not make it through the app process! Thanks!

LEGION
Compound AI from space seeking to make a good impression of their people so when the main fleet arrives in a few centuries, humanity won't shoot them out of the sky.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: You follow superhero news. Legion's been making some waves, being a fairly competent A-level superhero occasionally involved in major CONDOR operations. If you follow tech circles, they're a much bigger deal, as a rare example of functioning distributed intelligence.

YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: You are a superhero or CONDOR operative who has been involved in high-level crime, the kind of stuff where enemy death is deemed to be a tragic but not particularly surprising event. Drug cartels, private security firms gone rogue, the occasional TRIDENT operation - Legion keeps away from lower-level stuff. CONDOR's afraid they're going to start killing a little bit too easily.


PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: Legion is here mostly to learn about organic life, so the kinds of people who are willing to teach them things are great, but what's also great are the kinds of people who try and fail to teach them things, thus resulting in Legion utterly failing to understand organic life in any way, shape, or form.

THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: Nothing comes to mind.

ANYTHING ELSE: nothing much

This semi-organic life form would love to be a bad influence on Legion. I don't think Sun Wukong follows many laws of physics to begin with, so feel free to punch him.

nothing about you makes any sense.

no come back we're trying to understand organics.

[personal profile] monkeyseemonkeysmash 2014-01-26 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
One of the plots I want to happen is Sun Wukong's recruitment, and it would be hilarious if Legion was one of the people involved in bringing him to CONDOR/being an emissary from CONDOR.

Goal: learn about human ambassadorship with a non-human
Result: many things broken

SLIDES RIGHT IN HERE HELLO

so Baelheit used to work for TRIDENT and works in cybernetics research and would totally love to study a being like Legion for his research. what say you to some CR action

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-01-27 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
this platform is not available for experimentation.

why is your entourage heavily armed.
bombsheltered: (Default)

[personal profile] bombsheltered 2014-01-27 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, baelheit is much more likely to try to actually talk and/or befriend (well, insomuch as baelheit does friends) legion than he is to take him by force. that's not really his style. either way, he'd be fascinated by someone like legion 8)

plus there's that whole issue of his crime-filled experimented-on-orphans past.
chapterfiveversenine: (Default)

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-01-27 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
well there's that

legion would probably still categorically refuse to be experimented on, but i guess they could have a thing like

"let us experiment"

"no"

"please?"

"no"

"i'll pay you"

"we have no need of organic currency"

and eventually the conversation turns to AI development
bombsheltered: (Default)

[personal profile] bombsheltered 2014-01-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
oh of course if legion refuses there isn't much baelheit could do, and he is not generally in the habit of taking subjects by armed force (and obvs if you did not want legion to be experimented on that is 110% a-ok with me 8D)

the two of them talking about AI development though, goodness. that would be an interesting conversation.

eyyyyyy im so late im so sorry

glados is probably absolutely up to date with all the public (and maybe some not so public) info available on legion; she might even have tried to contact them directly as her current internet alter ego?

but also
i decided glados has been getting into MMOs. how do u feel about video game robot archnemeses/raid buddies/other.

"these two players have suspiciously high scores".

i can't decide whether allies or rivals would be better though.

[personal profile] tetrodotox1n 2014-02-06 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
on the bright side, no one can accuse u of using VIs to cheat. yet.

god me neither.
what about friendly rivals.....

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-02-07 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
perfect.

legion ascribes all of their cultural misunderstandings to being a non-native english speaker, which is technically true. they play basically the same classes as before (snipers/necromancers named john smith).

[personal profile] tetrodotox1n 2014-02-07 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god
beautiful. glados probably goes for the classes that are good at blowing things up.

they probably start getting preemptively banned from tournaments.

Have you recently been involved in subduing a hostile magic-user with minions made out of human (and other) body parts?

IF SO, Nivata... still thinks you suck. Why did you have to do that to her flesh golem, do you know how hard it is to reconstruct those after that kind of damage? Of course you don't. Who even let you develop sentience, anyway? They should be ashamed of themselves.

IF NOT, Nivata probably doesn't know you. Yet.

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-02-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
depends was it within the last six months because if so hell yes legion has nothing to do and so is basically always on call.

[personal profile] spitemancer 2014-02-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It could have been one of Legion's first assignment thingies?? what is time how does it happen
chapterfiveversenine: (Default)

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-02-20 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
you know what that sounds good.

legion would totally have pulse-incinerated the shit out of that golem.
celestialmutt: (Default)

[personal profile] celestialmutt 2014-02-20 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
yessssssssssssssss :D

Also Nivata totally is in favor of the domination of golems by their creators. <3 Who let you develop sentience anyway, they should be ashamed of themselves, that's exactly how you get golem uprisings.

She may have exploded a different minion on you on purpose. Some of them are actually supposed to do that. ...Not the flesh golem though. You jerk.

internet searches of the word "rock" indicate a positive attitude. mission success.

i don't even know how they'd interact since eusine is just some unregistered D-lister dumbass from across the atlantic but
legion, what are your thoughts on learning about human romance from someone whose notion of human romance is shitty soap operas and trashy novels

(in other news, eusine would definitely think legion is amazing. sentient space robot? this is like at least 80% as cool as unicorns. maybe 85% if he's feeling generous.)
chapterfiveversenine: (Default)

[personal profile] chapterfiveversenine 2014-02-23 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
please teach legion about romance in those ways. that would be beautiful.
superball: (HON HON HON)

[personal profile] superball 2014-02-23 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
legion should be glad, they're going to learn from an expert
(no. dear god no.)
